Red tones, rich green and splashes of white combine in our exclusive winter recipe. The designers at Squak Mt. have created this design to look vibrant through the coldest days of winter. Plant our ‘Rustic Winter’ container combination on your front porch to welcome family and friends as you celebrate the holidays together.
All of the plants in our design are grouped together at Squak Mt. to make it quick and easy for you to select them. Our friendly staff would be pleased to assist in modifying the recipe for any size pot. The quantities in this recipe fit a container approximately 14-16” in diameter. Our designers have also pre-planted pots, so that you may take a ‘Rustic Winter’ container home complete, and ready to enjoy.
If you desire to leave this combination intact for the spring and summer months, place the container in a location receiving morning sun and afternoon shade. Light exposure is of no concern during the winter.
